[解题导语] 父爱无语。离别时作为父亲的“我”该向儿子说些什么呢?简短而又略显不得体的话“假如让我选择的话,我会选择你”让儿子深深地懂得了父子情深。
1.A.experience B.spend
C.enjoy D.shape
解析:选A。体验一种不同的生活。experience有“经历、体验”的意思。enjoy意为“享受”,不符合语境。

C.make D.instruct
解析:选B。“我想给他一些有重要意义的话语。”故用give,其他选项不符合语境。

C.very D.next
解析:选B。根据下文判断这不是“我”第一次让这种时刻溜走。

C.scenery D.sight
解析:选B。a similar scene“类似的一幕(情景)”。
6.A.interest B.instruction
C.courage D.direction

C.struck D.troubled
解析:选A。words failed me相当于“I couldn’t express how I felt.”意为“我说不出话来”。
8.A.future B.embarrassing
C.obvious D.lost
解析:选D。根据上下文可知,作者在回忆那些已经失去了的机会。
9.A.last B.pass
C.fly D.remain

解析:选C。expect“预料,预计”。think后面不能接动词不定式;want和wish表示主观上的意愿或希望。
12.A.But B.And

解析:选A。上文的言下之意是这件事情不重要,这样本句和上文构成转折关系,所以用But。

解析:选A。根据下文的there were just Daniel and me判断本句表示世界消失(disappear)了。
